I can't yet prove it, but I think I know the culprit: BOINC manager. If I |
| 13 |
don't run it, I get all my desktops running properly, but if I do, the |
| 14 |
window manager gets confused about which desktop is on display and tries to |
| 15 |
display bits of several of them, overlapping, missing, showing through, |
| 16 |
flickering, you name it. The bug persists even if I shut down boincmgr |
| 17 |
before the problem appears. |

It may have something to do with focus stealing, because I had to raise the |
| 20 |
prevention setting one or two notches to be able to switch away from |
| 21 |
boincmgr's desktop. If it is so, I suppose it's a consequence of coding for |
| 22 |
Windows with only a single desktop in the entire known universe. |
